    …you say that and yet I randomly switched bus to bike to ride to work and nothing happened except tired legs. And I was doing 63km weekly.

    3 hours to go 50 km is bullshit for someone who didn’t train tho. In 4 hours, maybe. Person that isn’t used to biking will need more frequent breaks and will travel at lower speed.

      3 hours is what Google maps suggested. For that distance then yeah maybe first time riding it will take a bit longer. Also type of bike would influence it a fair bit too.

      My current bike commute is 80km a week and I just started doing it when getting the job because it isn’t that far.
